I can understand not trying him for the other cases as he isn’t going anywhere. I’m mad about the cousin though.
I just wish there was a way to find Jessica.

I think of Jessica’s case everyday and just want to post that Jessica has not been forgotten and I hope she is found and returned to her loved ones.

Bump for Jess! Thinking of her and the new sketch her mother put on her Find Jessica facebook page. With Closs being found and just listening to the conviction of JW on the RB case it makes me go hmmmm... JMO

With Jessica Heeringa’s body missing, Kevin Bluhm must still wear tether
Kevin Bluhm will continue to wear a GPS tether for at least another year following a ruling late last week. In asking that Bluhm remain on a tether, the prosecutor’s office noted that Heeringa’s body has not been recovered.

Oh my, if only they've finally found her. Hope we hear something definitive soon.

Thank you for posting this news. I hope they can determine soon who this person is and they can be given a proper funeral. It is going to be devastating for Jessica’s loved ones if it is her remains.

How long will it take do you think for confirmation whether the remains are male or female and who they belong to? I wondered if they were buried and animals have disturbed them. It would be interesting to see if Willis or the cousin’s demeanour has changed since these remains have been found.
It would be devastating for Jessica’s if this is her body but I have been hoping and praying for her family that they will learn the truth about what happened to Jessica and can grieve their beloved daughter-sister-mother. No one should be left unknown and unremarked in the woods like this.
Jeffrey Willis’s appeal for his conviction for Jessica’s murder is open and active. His attorney has already filed a brief on his behalf and the State has filed for their first extension to their submission. Certainly any kind of proof that Jessica has passed away would still be very relevant legally right now.

JW’s appeal for Rebekah’s murder has been stalled but appears to still be open. He/his attorney missed their filing deadline. I am not sure what happens in this event.

I know the appellate courts in California send you a letter giving you 15 days to file the opening brief after the missed deadline or they will dismiss it. Not sure about there. The two sides could also stipulate to a later filing that hasn’t been docketed yet.

This article has some different information. Apparently the landowners found the skeletal remains on their property. The report by the forensic anthropologist is expected by the end of this week.
Skeletal remains found in NW Kent County
Prayers to all families of missing in Michigan.

One of the articles about the recent discovery of skeletal remains mentions that they were found near the Ottawa/Kent county line. JW was a researcher of known serial killers and personally knew police officers — he would have known that some law enforcement entities are bound by municipal, county and state boundaries and cannot or do not always share information. Searches for example are sometimes bound by these administrative boundaries. I am certain he would have taken that into account, even if this is not Jessica.

Thank you for this information loreet. I’m going to be very surprised if this person’s remains are Jessica’s I just got the impression from day one JW would have made sure she couldn’t be found. If this person has been left relatively exposed and without clothing I wondered if they could have been a sex worker and if any women were missing. Hopefully we will get more information soon.

The Kent County remains are not Jessica’s.
